DHCP

Definition & steps

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When DHCP assigns an IP address, itactually leases that connection identifier to the user’s computer for a specific amount of time. The default lease is five days.

Pros

Because there is certain lease duration, if not using after the duration, they will automatically collect it after the lease. So, it can be used for other computer.

Because you don’t need to set the IP one by one, if you move to other office and connect to the that network, it will automatically assign an IP for you.
